It was not a fair verdict, but I won’t shed any tears for Chauvin. His incompetence caused enormous damage to cops just like the pedo priests did to their profession. Would corporations have been pressured to donate billons to BLM, which we subsidized, had there not been the uproar over his sickening conduct in the video? (”Sickening” was Trump’s description!).
He didn’t even have the guts to testify.
If it wasn't him, they just would have found some other shiny object.
Burden of proof is on the state.. not the defendant. Not testifying as a defendant is not cowardice.
This trial was never going to be fair. Had the fake president calling for a particular verdict. Had congressmen calling for riots if they didn’t get verdict they wanted.
Absolutely no chance at a fair trial.
Whether guilty or not, there was no chance he was going to get a fair trial
My thoughts on this case parallel yours. Chauvin hurt the cause of all police who try to do their job without using excessive force. The real losers this evening are the looters who were all set to start looting and burning.
